Four armed thugs pretending to be UPS deliverymen were no match for a brave 59-year-old Jersey City man who pushed one of the would-be robbers out of his hallway Saturday night, according to police reports.

The second-floor resident at a two-family home on Stegman Parkway near West Side Avenue told officers that someone rang his doorbell around 7:40 p.m., reports said.

Over the intercom system, the stranger identified himself as a UPS deliveryman.

When the 59-year-old went downstairs, he said he saw four men standing outside.

The resident said he opened the front door and asked why a delivery was being made so late in the day.

At that point, one of the men pulled out a black handgun and forced his way into the hallway of the building, reports said.

Another of the would-be home invaders took out a roll of duct tape and began to tear off a piece, but the resident was able to shove the armed man out the front door, and at that point, all four men fled, reports said.

None of the men was wearing a UPS uniform, although one had on a brown T-shirt, the resident said. The robbers did not hide their faces.

Police canvassed the area for the suspects but came up empty.

Anyone with information about this crime should call the Jersey City Police Department tipline at (201) 547-JAIL.
